A Private Family-Friendly Tour of Tokyo: What Can You See in One Day? A Licensed Guide's Report
Today's guests were a group visiting Japan from North America. A typhoon was approaching, so the weather was unstable and it was hot and humid, but everyone seemed to enjoy the tour. We first visited Sensoji Temple in Asakusa. Perhaps because of the weather, the number of tourists was considerably lower than usual. The guests drew omikuji fortunes together and also purchased omamori charms. Next, we enjoyed monjayaki in Tsukishima. After that, since one of the guests was a big fan of character goods, I took the group to a specialty store where they bought souvenirs. Finally, I took them to Tokyo Tower, where we parted ways.

Tripadvisor review: Tokyo 6hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Yuji was an amazing guide. He was able to add so much information about all the sites we chose to see. He was very kind and when we were tired he suggested a stop for coffee. It revived us and we kept going.
I would highly recommend Yuji to any one visiting Tokyo.

We had a great experience with our 6 hour walking tour. Yuji was our guide, he was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful through the whole experience. He took us to places that were family friendly and recommended good places to eat and enjoy. We recommend him for your next trip to Tokyo!!!
